However, this year held specially significance for all associated with the club, with the season launch for 2017 going hand in hand with a remembrance of club legend Darryl ‘Radar’ Meers, as well as a charity drive for Robbie Gillham, titled Mates of Radar and Robbie (M.O.R.R.).

As well as a celebration of two men who have both been described as “amazing, kindhearted blokes”, the day had a donation of $100 where those attending could have their head shaved and receive a M.O.R.R. day hat.

The launch event raised almost $7,000 for charity.

All proceeds will go towards both the Mudgee Hospital and the running of the Dragons Club, at the request of Robbie Gillham.
